Time for a new pistola... lol

[Chazman321]

Please forgive any spelling or punctuation mistakes, I'm writting this from my cell phone and it takes forever... lol I am looking for a new gun, preferably a revolver. I want it to be good for both carry and maybe backup during deer season. I just can't decide on what I should get. I was thinking of the .44 mag, but those aren't common around my parts... I saw a new .327 mag, but it didn't impress me... Can anyone help a brother out!?! lol -Chaz

For General woods Walking during Hunting season and general self defense, i would recommmend the Ruger SP01 in .357 mag, excellent , gun and built like a Mack
Truck, i dont own one , but noiw that you mentiuon it.....

Anything from ruger, in 44mag or even 45 colt.

Even a nice 357, sp101 or gp100.

357 mag, 44 mag, 45 colt are all good choices. Even a 41 mag would be a good choice in my book.

I just bought this and I love it so far. super light, much lighter loaded then my carry gun is empty. Not that I could conceal it. Shoots good so far. Only shot about 50 shots so far due to the cold snowy conditions.

Oh yeah It was cheap too

Not only will YOU be happy with that revolver, your great-grandkids will be happy with that revolver!

A 4" barreled K-frame Smith & Wesson in .357 Mag (only available on the used market these days) or a Ruger SP101 or GP100 (same caliber and barrel length) would be your most useful choice if you really intend to use it as a carry gun. A S&W 686 with 4" barrel would be a good second choice.

I don't think you want to go with anything larger if you really intend to carry it. Believe me N frame guns are heavy!

i was looking at a smith 329.....a 44mag with a 4" barrel on an N frame that weights 26ozs.
looked like a great gun to carry, but not sure i would actually want to fire it often with anything more than specials in it.

That Taurus 44 mag I showed in pic is only 28oz. Recoil isnt bad at all with good bullets.
